Programming Fundamentals

A collection of notebooks from my Programming Fundamentals course at UOC.
Here I explore the basics of coding, problem solving, and algorithmic thinking,
laying the foundation for more advanced projects in data science and social research.

Contents

This repository includes Jupyter notebooks covering:

• ✨ Basic syntax and operations
• 🔄 Control structures (loops, conditionals)
• 📦 Functions and modular programming
• 📊 Data structures (lists, dictionaries, etc.)
• 🧮 Simple algorithms and problem solving exercises

Purpose

This repo documents my journey into programming, starting from the very basics and growing towards applying code to real-world problems. It’s both a learning archive and a reference for anyone starting out.

👉 My personal favourite is Data_Visualisation.ipynb, where I use economic data and plot indicators’ evolution over time.
